If you are currently off the edge of the map, the arrow will still show your direction of travel,
but will be drawn at the edge closest to where you are, with a circle around it.

If you have chosen Track-up in Watch Settings then the map will rotate
so that "up" on the screen is your forward direction. A rotating "N" on the left of the screen will point north.

Where you were most recently will be shown with a trail of "breadcrumb" dots.

If you do not want to use a route for the current activity, press-and-hold the Start/Stop (right hand) button and choose Delete Route to remove

The Garmin Edge 520 820 1000 and 1030 GPS bike computers have their own built-in mapping and navigation features,
which offer many more features than dwMap would on these units. Although we have experimented with
dwMap on the Edge models, we are not currently offering it.
